TAMPAH JAJAN PASAR

I arrived in the USA 4 days before my husband's birthday.

I want to make something special on his birthday celebration. 

I made these.... a bamboo woven tray is filled with Indonesian traditional dessert.  

I've posted the recipes (two of them) HERE (kue talam & kelepon).

The layer cake is called 'Getuk', it's  a kind of cassava cake.

The ingredient are steam cassava, sugar, and melted margarine/butter. 

I got many compliment on this cake. So happy when people can enjoy what I cooked.

It's been a while

Since January 2012, I've not updated my blog.
I was so busy with many things that came  up into my life.
At the beginning of January, I got sad news from Bandung.
My mom had to be hospitalized for her serious illness.
At the end of January, I got short message from my sister. "Please come to Bandung, or else you will regret."
My husband and I made a quick decision, booking the tickets.
I flew to Bandung with my 2 years old son, Jev.

I must be so thankful, I could spend my time with my mom for about two months there.
Until she has to leave us to the eternity.
Now I'm still in grief, reminiscing my childhood, my good time with her.
I realized when I'm loosing her, I'm not just loosing one isolated person. But there are many facets of her that I lost. I only can pray, that God will fulfill my needs about her according to His riches.

One of kitchen memories my mom gave me is Manadonesse bread/cake, "Brudel".
I never thought that exactly 1 year after I posted her recipe on this blog, she passed away.

Her love will always be in my heart.
Her love that she's been sharing in the kitchen will always be sweet memories for us.
